Talk about it together

Paid apps offered free on unofficial websites are a common trap for malware and fake browser add-ons.
Get apps and extensions only from the official store or the real company's website.
Review browser extensions and app permissions with your children.
If something odd was installed, remove it, change passwords and run a security check.
